Service Description
Tuesdays 6-8pm 11 week course runs September 29 - December 8, 2026 $425, monthly payment option available. Supplies included; please bring own sketchbook (11"x14" or larger) Maximum 10 participants Learn the fundamentals of capturing the landscape: how to communicate space, movement, texture, and more. Landscape is uniquely suited to allow for your own creative expression. Students learn to draw larger scale and build confidence working faster and more gesturally to capture the essence of the subject, with a series of exercises followed by more sustained drawings. Students will capture greater subtlety of tone and detail through more focused seeing and pointed exercises, and be given the opportunity to expand their drawing media and methods. Both traditional and contemporary drawing practices are referenced in our visuals and exercises. Optional homework is assigned each week. Areas covered in this course: - Composition - Gestural exercises and expression - Capturing greater detail and texture - Working on larger surfaces - Beginning to work from your own photographs - Introduction to colour media, adding colour to drawings Materials: A range of papers, graphite, charcoal, ink, introduction of colour media including coloured pencil, conte, and watercolour. Subjects: trees, seascapes, skyscapes, mountains This course is labelled an "Intermediate Drawing" course.
